Hi to everybody,
in SAP Environment are SQL Licenses included (my customer told me ...)
My Question:
Does SLM reflect this circumstance in calculating compliance?
Or should i add possible SQL CAL's and / or SQL Server Licenses (including in SAP Contract)
as an ordinary license and map to the SAP Servers?
Thanks in advance
Markus
Hi Markus,
just as a little sidenote:
(my customer told me ...)
... would be the thing that concernes me more ;-)
Customers very often believe they are allowed to use something and then recognize that this was a bad mistake.
Kind regards,
Axel
Hi Marcus,
Snow doesn't automatically recognize these instances. So, you need to add the licenses and assign them to the SAP servers. That's how I did.
Hi Markus,
the SQL deployment is technical identical like all other SQL installations.
Normally the SQL Environment is licensed via ISV (Independent Software Vendor). Maybe you can see the licenses in the billing from SAP or your vendor.
The SQL Environment ist not listed like SQL Server Enterprise, in fact a 'Databaselicense MSSQL' you will pay for proportional to the total costs.
You should note, that you can these licenses only for the SAP environment.
However, how do I show the SQL licensing in SNOW correctly? My idea would be to create a microsoft SQL Enterprise license and cover the SAP SQL licensing via external coverage.
How do you do it?
Best Regards
Juilan
Hi Markus,
as far as I know there is no automatic recognition of the described circumstance. One way would be (as you described) to enter an SQL license and assign it to the SAP servers. Please make sure to mark this in the notes section of the SQL license.
